A Solid Line-up is EXTREMELY important, but isn`t everything for a console

Being strong in one area can make up for weakness in other areas, though.

Power is not important unless you have almost same product, like PS3 and Xbox360 or PS4 and XB1, if you have consoles that so similar than power like on few differences can be important. DS/Wii/3DS and Switch now were/are popular despite they are not powerful consoles.

*Translated the bolded: Power IS important

 

Idon't see Wii U in that list. Maybe those Nintendo  consoles made up for the lack of power by being stronger with marketing and games?
